Is there a link between per capita alcohol consumption and cancer mortality
What shapes local alcohol, narcotics, and tobacco policy in Sweden
Swedish municipalities vary significantly in their commitment to preventing alcohol, narcotics, and tobacco related (ANT) problems. This study investigates the drivers of local policy development, focusing on the salience of ANT‐related problems, municipal economic resources, and the political orientation of local governments. We analyzed pooled time‐series cross‐sectional data from 109 of Sweden's 290 municipalities between 2011 and 2021. Local …
Exposure to parental problem drinking during adolescence and symptoms of depression and anxiety in young adulthood
Mind the gap! Gender differences in alcohol consumption among Swedish ninth graders 1989–2021
Trends in Tobacco Use among 9th Graders in Sweden, 1991–2020
Tobacco use was measured with self-reports of lifetime use of cigarettes and snus to examine trends in tobacco use among Swedish 9th graders over the period 1991-2020. Annual school surveys with nationally representative samples of 9th-grade students in Sweden covering the period 1991-2020 with a total sample of 163,617 students. We distinguished between the use of cigarettes only, use of snus only, dual use (use of both cigarettes and snus), and…

Severe harm from others' drinking
Alcohol‐attributed disease burden in four Nordic countries between 2000 and 2017
Alcohol Consumption and the Physical Availability of Take-Away Alcohol
No effects of increased alcohol availability during adolescence on alcohol-related morbidity and mortality during four decades
BACKGROUND: A strict high legal age limit for alcohol purchases decreases adolescents' access to alcohol, but little is known about long-term health effects. The aim was to estimate the effect of increased alcohol availability during adolescence on alcohol-related morbidity and mortality. METHODS: A nationwide register-based study using data from a natural experiment setting. In two regions of Sweden, strong beer (4.5%-5.6% alcohol by volume) bec…
The psychometric properties of the Audit
While the AUDIT showed acceptable psychometric properties in the general population sample, it's performance was of less quality among the elderly respondents. Further psychometric assessments of the AUDIT in elderly populations are required before it is implemented more widely
Is Spirits Really the Most Harmful Alcoholic Beverage? Evidence from a Recent Alcohol Survey in Sweden
The aim of this study was to determine if spirits consumption is more harmful than consuming milder beverage types in Sweden, using monthly survey data for the period 2005–2009. Logistic regression modeling was performed to estimate the association between different beverages and harmful drinking, controlling for gender, age, and socioeconomic factors. There was no support for the idea that spirits consumption is characterized by more harmful dri…
Explaining change and stasis in alcohol consumption
The term ‘saturation’ has often been used when alcohol consumption in a region stays the same despite there having been reason to expect an increase, e.g. after a decrease of taxation. However, the term ‘saturation’ has been used only descriptively, and in different ways. We therefore propose a wider-ranging framework for understanding and explaining trends in alcohol consumption, illustrating the operation of the factors with historical or conte…

Policy changes and effects on individual consumption: complexities of measurement and of influences
Alcohol Consumption and Alcohol-related Mortality in Canada, 1950–2000
Alcohol-Related Mortality in 15 European Countries in the Postwar Period
Alcohol Consumption and the Experience of Adverse Consequences—A Comparison of Six European Countries
This paper describes prevalence rates of self-reported experiences of alcohol-related problems in six Western European countries and examines how self-reported consumption of alcohol is associated with the likelihood of experiencing these problems. Of particular interest is to assess whether alcohol is more strongly associated with the likelihood of experiencing adverse consequences in Northern Europe than in countries in Central and Southern Eur…
Can surveys measure alcohol consumption? Advances in survey methodology in the Kalk project
This articles explores the merits and problems of survey research in analysing national alcohol consumption. Whereas sales and taxation records usually provide the macro‐level data for estimating alcohol consumption in a country as a whole, this data say very little about both the distribution of alcohol consumption with smaller social groups or the consumption of alcohol that is not registered by sales or taxes (such as the consumption of alcoho…
